I found the Codefree one an evil little git that made holes that bled like stuck pigs lol....confined it to the bin and got a painless one. You could try putting an elastic band around your finger ( not too tight obviously) ....that would force the blood to the tip of your finger and make it easier to get a sample..or just apply pressure with your thumb at the end of the finger you are using which achieves the same resultIt's from SD and came as part of the Codefree kit. I've no idea if it's a good one or not! I've got it set to maximum. I'll try the shaking and massaging and see if that improves things.
Thanks all.

@Gravity-Carb It's the Accu-Chek Fastclix..........much less painful than the Codefree one. Using the Codefree my fingers were so sore I could have cried. The Fastclix is far better and it is all but pain free...half the time I don't feel anything at all and when I do, which is usually when the lancet needs changing, the prick is hardly painful...you are just aware it needs changingWhat is this painless blood letter of which you speak????? my fingers hurt dagnamit and I would love not to be reminded of my diabetes when pouring a glass of wine....
I find if I squeeze my finger a little first then squeeze the blood out it gets more blood and I use a lower click level.
